Hey there, folks. We're moving downtown in a couple of weeks so I thought I'd let you know. I'll probably be offline for another short duration (hooray for you!) since I'll be too busy packing up stuff. In the meantime, I've uploaded a new page of Via Dolorosa for you to enjoy (or ignore, whatever floats your boat)! It's Page 13 and the story's finally picking up some momentum... or at least that's the plan, anyway.

:doh: Some people who have read the comic thus far have complained that the story's pacing was a tad on the slow and awkward side. Sure enough, here we are at Page 13 and I'm still building up on the intro! I think the problem was that I tried introducing all the major characters all at once, and it kind of diluted the prologue when it really should have just taken six or seven pages, tops.

Rest assured, though, that I'm working on the script 24/7 like the awesome person that I am. :thumbsup: Most likely the only thing I need to do here anyway is to redistribute the order of pages (meaning half the current pages so far might end up on separate chapters altogether). That's the wonderful thing about comics--one can just shuffle the order of events around until the whole thing makes sense. Sigh. If life were like that, you wouldn't need a Visa card.

So anyway. Enjoy the measly update! Don't forget to leave comments! (Spare change is also acceptable.) In the meantime, I'll be a-helpin' Ma and Pa Ingalls tie the horses to the ol' wagon, by gum.

Hmm, that's kind of sad, but with your talent you shouldn't have any problems looking for a new job in no time.

As for me, I'm quite desperate enough to take a job flipping burgers. :(

Yeah, I just got laid off my last job, they 'couldn't afford' to keep me! but that's ok I'm looking for a new job now... Have you found a job yet?

I'm going to start posting my work on deviant art, it's a great way to show off your work and you can learn a ton from other artists!

Talk to you soon - Justin

Thanks for the watch too. :) BTW, I was actually collecting one of the titles you released earlier called Armor Troopers Terra: 2050 right before we moved to Canada. I got up to Episode 6. :D
